Billing Plan/Refund

We have put the pricing plans on the website, which may be changed from time to time.

Our charges for quarterly/annual plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time to time. If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is due for the full month. Payments are due on the same or closest date to the day you made your first payment (the “Pay Date”). If you go over your limit and reach another pricing level, then you’ll have to pay at the higher level on or before the next pay date. If the Term ends before that payment is due, you’ll still be required to make one payment at the higher level.

As long as you’re a Member or have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the subscription charges against that credit card. You will replace the information for any credit card that expires with information for a valid one. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that credit card and that any and all charges may be billed to that credit card and won’t be rejected. If we’re unable to process your credit card transaction, we’ll try to contact you by email and move the account to FREE plan when there is no action.

We will give you a refund for a prepaid month if we stop providing our Services to you for a reason that’s not laid out in these Terms of Service. In case you have paid your subscription fee in advance, the refund amount will be calculated pro-rata up to the time you send us a written request via email for termination/cancellation of your SurveySparrow account.

We may change our fees at any time by posting a new pricing structure on our website and will intimate you by sending you a notification email, provided you have not opted-out of our email communication.
